If I think you vibe coded your website im not using your product, reading your blog and will bad mouth you at every opportunity.

Build things yourself. Using LLMs doesnt help you understand anything, they will just give you an annoying case of dunning kruger. Using them will only make you retart-d

You people keep saying this and token prices keep doubling. The cope of the gambler is truly one to marvel.

Yeah, its almost like the casinos started rigging the game after they got all the addicts hooked. Who saw that coming???

If you overuse LLMs or get excited about them at all, you're ngmi and a complete idiot.


5.4 nano isnt useful for a serious task. This is so hypothetical and optimistic its annoying

Think of it as paying for tokens. The tokens you could buy 3 years ago are better and two orders of magnitude cheaper today. If that happens again over the next 3 years then the tokens you can buy today to do a job for 20k will cost 200.

This isn't optimistic in my opinion. It's not even fully realistic because Gemma 4, which you can run on local hardware, is even better and another few orders of magnitude cheaper. A 20k job today might a few dollars in a few years.


Well this is what happens when everyone hires an actuary to handle their pricing and every business earns its revenue through psuedo-insurance policy subscription products.


very true.


Typical llm user, thinks they're a genius.


Im convinced everyone saying this is building the simplest web apps, and doing magic tricks on themselves.


I've been building a new task manager in C for Linux.

If you're not using AI you are cooked. You just don't realize it yet.

Truth. But not just “using”.

Because here’s where this ship has already landed: humans will not write code, humans will not review code.

I see mostly rage against this idea, but it is already here. Resistance is futile. There will be no “hand crafted software” shops. You have at most 3-4 years left if you think this is your job.


I don't really agree.

People should still understand the code because sometimes the AI solution really is wrong and I have to shove my hand in it's guts and force it to use my solution or even explain the reasoning.

People should be studying architecture. Cause now I can orchestrate stuff that used to take teams and I would throwaway as a non-viable idea. Now I can just do it. But no you will still be reviewing code.


Most people as at March 2026 still agree with you.


People still understand metallurgy and casting even though machines make all the paperclips.


Are you using AI to write this? Please stop.


It has subpar grammar (uncapitalized word "humans" and "hand crafted" is unhyphenated). I think you're hallucinating.


Clearly so. To me it's the LLM writing style at least.


Said like a bot. Please stop.


you're engaging w a troll


What evidence would convince you otherwise?


Session dumps would be nice.


Just dont use openclaw, you dont need it.
